I changed my microsoft account settings but minecraft multiplayer still doesnt work

Hello Matias Sandvik,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with minecraft multiplayer. There are a few possible reasons why this might happen, and I will try to help you troubleshoot them.



First, make sure that your microsoft account is linked to your xbox profile. You can do this by signing in to your microsoft account on the xbox website and checking your account settings. If you see a green check mark next to your xbox profile, then your account is linked. If not, follow the instructions to link your account.



Second, check your xbox network settings on your windows 11 device. You can do this by opening the xbox app and clicking on the settings icon on the left side of the screen. Then, click on network and look for the NAT type and server connectivity status. Ideally, you want to have an open NAT type and a connected server status. If you see a moderate or strict NAT type, or a blocked or disconnected server status, then you might have some issues with your network configuration.



Third, if your xbox network settings are not optimal, you can try to improve them by following some steps. For example, you can restart your router and modem, use a wired connection instead of wireless, or enable UPnP on your router. You can find more detailed instructions on how to do these steps on the xbox support website.
